President Donald Trump has issued an executive order for a wall to be built along the southern US border with Mexico.
He also signed an action to strip funds from US cities that are sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants.

This'll work fine.

Trump has such a great record off paying off debts he incurs.

Apparently his advisers haven't told him he cant bankrupt himself out of this.

Well it's the sort of things you get with a top business man in charge.








ouch.

that's gotta sting the pride a bit.

I'm sure the Mexican Cartels will start a massive digging operation to expand their tunnels underneath the border.

Trump is gambling with the house's money now. I'm sure some of the money not going into his own pockets will be used to pay a debt or two.

Don't mind the wall... the cost is a drop in the bucket really...

What bothers me, is the fact that he's using EO to strip funds from Sanctuaries cities... I don't think that's kosher. I need to be passed in Congress.

I don't really care about the physical structure of the wall other than the economic burden, I care about the point behind it. We are the nation that is made up of and enriched by immigrants. That is sort of our "thing". Trump is telling the world our "thing" is no longer our thing. We got ours, feth you. Keep your hands of of "our thing", Mr. Peestain.

$8 billion doesn't seem a drop in the bucket to me, at least. The entire Scotch industry contributed £5 billion to the UK's economy. Scotch is pretty big deal for Scotland and is sold globally. That's only the equivalent of $6 billion or so...

The promise to build a wall was of course never understood as literal but as a promise to be extra racist against latinos.

Says the foreigner who literally doesn't know what he's talking about or ever ever met a Trump supporter.

Trump supporters are dead serious in wanting a wall barrier system.


Preferably with sharks with frigging lazer beams.

Sharks? In the desert?...

Land sharks. Have your never seen the real Jaws 2, Tremors? Kevin Bacon is in it. He doesn't dance. And his last name is bacon.You should watch it. I'm doing it right now, right Frazz?

On topic: I bet Trump is just trying to protect us from the Tremors monsters. He saw them in a film once, they looked real and scary. Give the guy some slack and the benefit of doubt, people. He is sarmt enoght to no better, wright?

A fish becomes the master of its own destiny inside of a robotic fish tank that it controls. The speed and direction of the robot are determined by the position of the fish relative to the middle of its tank, so it changes as the fish swims around in its tank.

sharks in armoured tanks is the inevitable next step.

No.
Legal immigrants good.
Illegal immigrants bad.

Ask the Comanches what happens when you have lots of illegal immigration.

Not just that but flying sharks. Rocket powered flying sharks with lazer beams. Also drones piloted by angy octopi. Think of the DARPA budget spend on that. We'll be back to 6% annual GDP in no time.

So the White House just released this email







best of luck.

You mean tha as in, the immigrants who created this this fine nation were illegal immigrants? The gall. The travesty. The point. If only the Iroquois nation had some fine men behind all of their females...things would have turned out so much differently. If only they had a wall!!!

No they were here legally.
They were only illegal to the natives already here. That didn't turn out so well for them. But at least they have casinos.

Not illegal, but as it was hacked in the election, that seemed irresponsible.

Are you kidding here? Trump is seventy. He has not spunk left, just lots of urine, which he uses greatly and amazingly. Did you not look at Melania's face at all? she was so tremendously excited to be there.

Considering how much fraud there was this election and that the count is off my millions and millions, it's probably best to hold a second election...

Absolute bs article.

Staffers cannot do 'campaign' stuff on official accounts.

Come back to me when they use their RNC accounts exclusively, ala HRC.

Also, the RNC claimed that the hacks were attempted, but not successful.

When you sober up, read what you wrote again. Might makes right. I bet you know that we sort of curbed some of our laws from them--see the constitution. So because it ended up with casinos for natives, all is good. Ok, good to know. Thanks.

Might makes right? Well yea, but thats not related to my post.

Legal immigrants built this country, yes indeed. People who attempt to conflate illegal and legal immigration have their own agendas and none of them are in the interest of the US or the middle class.

And because of your insolence I've decided we need to counteract Australia's dominance in killer drop bears. IN an enlightened Trump administration, we will develop drop jackalopes!

Australia you're on the list! Each country conquered is only going to give us about ten years of sugar high. So after Canada, Mexico, Scotland, and Tahiti, look out!

Also Greenland's sure got a purty mouth. All your craggy lands are belong to us!

You people realize the last time the US and Russia got together well, we conquered..everybody right... even Picadilly Circus fell to our flyboys. muahahah

Well, that as they say is that.

The wall is getting built...by Mexican cement and construction companies because they're the closest.



I look forward to the non - Union, Mexican equivalent of Ronald Reagen with a rallying cry of tear down this wall!

I love America. really, really really love it. Seriously, I mean it.
Since Jan 20th, I haven't laughed this hard in months.

A toupee in the White House. Buy American, but the supporters hats were made in China. Alternative facts. Sean Spicer looking like Herman Munster's stunt man.

and now this wall.

If we get 4 more years of this, I will die from cracked ribs puncturing my vital organs.

I appreciate that many of my fellow dakka members won't have a good time under Trump. I hope the next 4 years goes well for you guys. Best of luck.

But to this non-American neutral observor, once again the USA has managed to kill satire stone dead.

If you write comedy, how the hell can you compete with this? You can't because reality is funnier.

PS, if we in Scotland block another Trump golf course, I may not be laughing much more, instead I may find myself fighting off the US Marince Corp!

That is money that could be used for lot more useful things. But nope. Wasted to boost Trump's ego instead.

So the people who built this country (European immigrants) had legal jurisdiction to do so? what legal statutes were they following? What legal terms by which the League of Nations (in the east, don't get me started on the Sioux or Cherokee) were the "legal" immigrants following? What legal document are you getting your facts from? Or are they "alternate facts" in which case, we can just shut this down right here and now?

And let the record show that *burb and *blarble are not actual responses, despite what your president might tweet. Go to sleep, sweet prince, and talk to us tomorrow.

I agree with frazzled. Legal immigrants are fine, illegal are not.
But insisted for DacA kids

But then one has to keep in mind this build has nothing to do with stopping illegal immigrants and all about boosting Trump's ego.

If you want to prevent illegal immigration(funny concept since US is built from such in a first place) there are actually effective ways to spend the 8-25 billion dollars.

But they wouldn't boost Trump's ego so much so he goes for the ego booster. Everything he does are for two purposes and two purposes only: Boost his ego and boost his wealth.
